OpenTabs Edge Add-on: Save Trees by Browsing

OpenTabs: Save trees by opening new tabs is an Edge add-on by a non-profit organisation on an environmental mission. This tool substitutes your new tab experience with a personalised dashboard that helps save a tree for every 5 tabs you open. The service is free and uses unobtrusive ads to generate revenues for saving trees. OpenTabs ensures user privacy, is commendably transparent, and partners with other eco-conscious search engines. It also emphasises on saving existing forests over planting new ones, and offers additional features such as games, shortcuts, and impact badges.

OpenTabs is a non-profit fighting climate change in the most affordable and convenient way possible. Our extension replaces your new tab page with a personal dashboard that saves a tree for every 5 tabs you open. We’re on a mission to redesign the internet for social impact and we’re continuously working on creating free, easy, and accessible ways to save our planet.

☆ 5 Tabs Opened = 1 Tree Saved ☆

➤ Your privacy and trust matters

We are a non-profit committed to protecting your privacy and using your data responsibly. We're interested in trees, not your data: we don’t see your searches, we don’t track the websites you visit, and we don’t create personal profiles. The ads on our extension are delivered by our advertising partners, who may collect anonymized data in order to show you ads you'll be interested in.

➤ We don’t plant trees
